After much Mumble chatter it was determined that the Westbank AO would probably be better served on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays. YHC had committed to Moist that ” if he built it I would come” to Q. So I lived up to my commitment and made my way to the W-ank for the extra dark and early beatdown. Having picked up the blocks from Audubon to do the Iron Pax challenge at the Mothership last weekend they were still riding around in the back of my truck, so I thought we would put them to good use this morning. As the clock struck 5 AM, 5 PAX gathered at the flag with one FNG. The usual introduction and disclaimer was given and off we went. Quick mosey to the other side of the baseball field for the warm up.
Warm Up
All in cadence: 20 SSH, 20 Hillbillies, 20 Fwd Arm Circles, 20 Rev Arm Circles, 20 Mountain Climbers
Line Up for an Indian Run back to Park, with this small Pax, every person went to front twice, at least.
Westbankers, don’t say I never brought you anything, cause I had “presents” for everyone. Grab your block and Mosey to the park.
Thang 1 – Dora 1,2,3 with Blocks
Partnered up for a little Dora – combined reps of:
100 Squat Thruster
200 Curls for the Gurls
300 Chest Presses.
PAX 1, ran the meandering track that goes around the playground, while PAX 2 reps out exercise till PAX 1 returned, flapjack and continue rep count.
Thang 2 – 11’s with Blocks
We placed our Blocks on the center line of our designated bordered by 2 trees approximately 30 yds. apart.
On one side the exercise was lunges(2 =1) – Starting with 10 reps – on the other side the exercise was Bobby Hurley’s starting with 1 rep.
Perform the exercise, run across to perform the other exercise, decrease lunges by 1 rep and increase Bobbby Hurly’s by one rep, after each round till you get to 1 lung and 10 BH’s. With the blocks lined up in the middle, every time you approached your block from the lunge side, 11 Bent Over Rows and when approaching your block from the Bobby Hurly’s side, 11 Goblet Squats.
YHC had one more Thang planned but time was tight and 5:45 came quicker than anticipated. So we wrapped up our last rounds and moseyed back to the flag.
COT, Count-Off, Name-O-Rama, Thanks to Beiber for EH’ing our new FNG – Wreck-it Ralph, He’s 28(HATE) and likes to play video games.
Announcements, Intentions were offered up, Sweaty Ball of Man, and closing prayer for our intentions especially for safe travels and good luck to our brothers travelling to North Carolina for the Blue Ridge Relay.
This AO is really building up a head of steam. It seemed like everyone of the PAX said they had talked to or had someone in mind to EH. I believe I have EH’d another HNJ dad, that should come out next week, as well. Thighs volunteered to have his VQ next week at his new home AO and I passed on the flag for him to hold till next week. Founding member Moist was out of town this week and will be having Surgery coming up and will likely miss the next 2 weeks. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery and let’s keep this thing building up until he returns.
SYITG!
